Fans of EastEnders have predicted that Ross Marshall’s visit to Joel could have made things much worse for Vicki Fowler. With Joel locked up for his attack on Vicki, life has returned to relative normality on Albert Square.

Vicki received an upsetting update this week, learning that he plans on pleading not guilty to the attack. Reeling from this news, Vicki lashed out – resulting in her knocking out Chelsea’s date in an (accidental) attack in the launderette.

Ross, meanwhile, tried to make things right by visiting Joel at the detention centre.

Arriving at the detention centre, Ross found Joel bruised up and all the worse for wear. Sitting down to chat, he asked Joel to change his plea to guilty. After all, he had filmed himself beating up Vicki.

However, Joel was far from penitent. Hearing how Vicki had publicly confronted Damon, he launched into another cruel tirade about women and modern feminist.
